Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 266: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice
Brother Dazhi, as a post-90s who loves games, he is undoubtedly extremely lucky to be one of the few "pigs" standing at the forefront of the times.
Although everyone likes to call these lucky guys in a sour tone, who wouldn't want to be a pig ?
Since the Chenghai 3C era, Dazhige has won the love of thousands of audiences with his unique commentary style. He made a name for himself in the field of online video creation early on. He quickly rose to prominence with various spoof videos and became well-known among young people, thus laying a solid fan base.
And when the trend of the times came, that is, when the game League of Legends was launched, it made a decisive transformation and successfully reaped the benefits of commentary videos.
Relying on his spoof and humorous video style and various dirty jokes, he fought his way through a group of retired professional players and became the undisputed number one in the League of Legends video section!
The words fame and fortune are always closely related. Relying on a fan base of millions, Dazhige, who became famous at a young age, quickly cashed in by selling goods through videos and easily achieved the financial freedom that ordinary people dream of.
He even became famous for the news that his annual income of 120 million yuan surpassed that of the entertainment queen Bingbing. He was also on the news. For a time, Dazhi was the most popular person in the industry, and his title as the number one in the industry was unshakable.
As the live streaming industry gradually rises, Dazhi continues to be successful with his "one trick to rule them all" commentary style, and has naturally become a top anchor on the live streaming platform.
The young and successful development not only brought about earth-shaking changes in Dazhige's life, but also made his wallet fatter. Money is a man's courage, so naturally his back is extra strong.
As his wallet expanded, so did Dazhi's ambition. For most people, becoming a top anchor and earning tens of millions of dollars a year is already the pinnacle of life, and there is nothing more to ask for.
But for Dazhi, the huge capital accumulated from the dividends of video commentary makes Dazhi want more, not just about money.
Because Dazhi was once poor and experienced the decline of Chenghai 3C in its early days, as well as the gradual decline of video commentary, live streaming has become popular today.
The times are changing too fast, and I have hit the forefront of the times time and time again, but good luck will not always favor "fools", and Dazhi does not think he will always be the lucky one.
If you don't make plans early while you are famous, once the audience gets tired of you, I'm afraid the platform will abandon you.
For ordinary people, being a top anchor means the end of the industry. However, for Dazhi, who used to be the number one in the industry and could chat and laugh with the platform bosses, the idea of becoming a shareholder of the platform grew wildly in Dazhi's expanding ambitions.
In Dazhi's view, top anchors like himself are the face of the live broadcast platform and can bring a steady stream of traffic revenue to the platform. Becoming a shareholder of the platform can also bind him more closely to the platform. He will also surely sacrifice his life for the platform. It can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
However, this is just Dazhi's wishful thinking. Chen Shijie, the CEO of Shark Platform, does not think so.
As the helmsman of the platform, Dazhi was poached by Chen Shijie from Huchi, and a large amount of operational resources were invested in him. It can be said that he single-handedly pushed Xiaozhi to the altar. Not only is he the number one on Shark, he is also one of the best among many game anchors.
However, Dazhi was greedy and began to "gather troops and gain power" to force the emperor to abdicate, wanting to get a hold of the platform's equity. Obviously, this was difficult for Chen Shijie to accept.
After all, in Chen Shijie's eyes, the top anchors are just bargaining chips of the platform. It is naturally no problem to treat them with courtesy, but it is absolutely impossible for them to be so arrogant as to be on an equal footing with him!
As the saying goes, stance determines the problem. Since the two sides have different stances, naturally they cannot reach an agreement. They are all just pursuing their own interests, so there is no question of who is right or wrong.
After this private "negotiation" ended in a bad mood, Principal Wang appeared and directly took out the shares of Panda platform with his wealth and allowed Dazhige to join the Panda platform as a shareholder.
Dazhi, who had suffered setbacks from Chen Shijie, was unsurprisingly moved by Principal Wang's olive branch. Having to choose the better of two options, Dazhi felt that he had no reason to refuse this opportunity to turn things around.
After all, a person’s reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Principal Wang’s reputation is definitely greater than Chen Shijie’s. As both are live streaming platforms, is the potential of Panda’s platform lower than that of Shark’s platform?
It is true that I am the boss on the Shark platform, but if I join the Panda platform, I will not only be a shareholder, but also the boss!
The two hit it off immediately and happily completed the PY transaction. As long as the contract with the Shark platform expires, Dazhi can easily realize its dream of moving to a higher level.
However, what Dazhi did not expect was that the news of the deal accidentally leaked. At the same time, Chen Shijie was unexpectedly decisive and directly shut down the live broadcast room before the deadline of his contract.
Under the pretext of "Thank you for your contribution to the live streaming platform, we will reward you with a short vacation to have a good rest", he was directly "retired from the army".
Chen Shijie would rather suffer a loss of 800 yuan than not stop the loss in time. At the same time, he would take this opportunity to make an example of other anchors to warn them of the consequences of "betraying" the platform.
After all, the live broadcast industry is now entering a fast-track development stage. If a popular anchor disappears from the public eye, he will inevitably be forgotten by some users due to the lack of exposure !
Moreover, during the period of rapid expansion of the industry, a large number of new users are pouring into the live broadcast industry every day. If you cannot broadcast live, you will not be able to use the "head effect" to convert new users into your own audience!
Once times change and other anchors take this opportunity to quickly narrow the gap, the live broadcast industry will naturally undergo a change. Who will still know that Dazhi was once the top anchor?
Chen Shijie's method of killing without shedding blood hit Dazhi's vital point, otherwise Dazhi wouldn't have jumped up and down on Weibo and angrily tore up the Shark platform.
However, this last-ditch effort was not only useless, but Chen Shijie also considered taking Dazhi to court on the grounds that Dazhi had breached the contract first. This is truly an example of doing things to the extreme and giving a drowning dog a beating.
Dazhi had no way to express his grievances, so he chose to find a new employer... Oh, no, he complained to his partner Principal Wang, but he didn't expect that Principal Wang's attitude also became ambiguous.
Not only did he not mention the issue of shares, he also asked Dazhi to have a good rest and to come back to the Panda platform to broadcast after the contract expires, and he would be given a warm welcome then.
This made Dazhi dumbfounded. Chen Shijie and Principal Wang jointly taught him an extremely vivid lesson about what "profit-seeking is the nature of capital" means.
Dazhi almost cried and said, "They are capitalists, I can't beat them." It seemed that he would lose more than he gained, but unexpectedly, someone came to him and wanted him to take over the new platform!
After all, a sinking ship still has three thousand nails to support it, and the fate of the live streaming industry is still uncertain. Dazhi, the top brother, still has a chance !
This time, Dazhi agreed decisively and chose to invest his own money. At the same time, he also found a professional lawyer to check it. He no longer believed in empty verbal promises and only believed in black and white words!
